We are looking for used or B grade panels to install in our camp ground in California. Our group is NOT rich, but our electric bill is now running us $700/mo and we are only there one-2 weekends per month! Camp is in San Diego county and about 2.5 miles North of the US border. If someone knows how we can get some REALLLLY Cheap panels please let us know.

Thanks in advance
Ken

Re item 1) Have you heard about grid intertie? or are you just trying to keep it simple?

I happen to be an inventor focused on designing cheaper solar panels. Do you have any idea how much cheaper a panel design would have to be to make for a manufacturer to consider licensing?
a) ~10% cheaper
b) ~20% cheaper
c) ~50% cheaper

b) and c) would require solar tracking.

what do short people particularly have to do with solar? “I’ll try to keep it someone short”

I agree with you about all the hype about new cheaper stuff coming. It can take a long time for something just discovered in a lab to turn into a real product. What matters is real solutions you can do now. Get what you can now, if it is cheaper in 10 years, add more.
